Toledo Roses

In 1961, a grandson was born to Victor and Helena Staelgraeve. As the eldest grandson, Dave spent most of his youth working at the family business. At a very early age, he was helping out in the greenhouses, transplanting, cleaning up, and following his Grandfather around. It wasn't long before he was making floral arrangements, putting up Christmas decorations, landscaping, and being involved in all kinds of the flower business. On his 16th birthday, Dave had his driving test in the morning, and was providing flowers in the afternoon.
